My Space Gray to share
May I share some pictures.
Some stock... Then the H&R, thanks to 78mao and Lacster (for telling me who has it) Then the wheels, front lip and rear spoiler. That's with the H&R Springs, and it still high. Now I know why 78mao dumped it. Some notes: My stock style 237 with GY Runlflats weighed 57 lbs. The Forgestar with Bridgestone RE760 weighed 59 lbs on the rear and 55 lbs on the front. I didn't weigh the wheels because the tireman got to mounting the tires first and we didn't dismount the stock tires. I'm really pleased how light these wheels are, especially for the price. Last one - Does this make my ass look fat? Comments are welcomed, both good and bad. BTW, I was just trying the looks of the blackout front bumper lights. I'll be wrapping it with (close to) color-matched vinyl this weekend. |

Looks great with the new wheels.
And regarding the wheel weights, I bet the tires are lighter too.

I have these exact same wheels for sale (20x9 front, 20x10.5 rear Forgestar F14 in Silver finish). The wheels are brand new and have never been mounted. Please PM me if you're interested.

Thanks to all for the compliments, much appreciated.
Masti99, to be honest I dont know the % tint, I know it's a 2 notches below limo, if that makes any sense. KRUZN335, I'm actually in Santa Clarita, but I go to Status for any work on my car, I've been good friends with Dave and Rick. Twins are nice! Hope to meet up some time. IE92, The springs have been there for 3 weeks now, and it was on 78mao's car, I don't know if it will settle anymore. I'm seriously thinking about cutting the damn thing. Luigimaster, you know, I ordered Brushed Titanium and I'm not really sure if this is it. It sure looks like Diamond Cut Finished. When I saw it, I liked it so I didn't question what finish it is. Perhaps 78mao can chime in, he knows this wheel pretty well. 78mao, thanks again for hooking me up with the springs, I would have been off-roading. So is this the Brushed Titanium or are you just saying that because that's what I said I ordered? Whatever it is, I think it came out ok. Remmib, Tirerack says the oe tires are 33lbs, and the Bridgestone RE760 front is 29 lbs, and 32 lbs for the rear. That makes the stock wheels 24 lbs, 20" Front Forgestar at 26 lbs, and 20" Rear Forgestar at 27. Give or take 0.5 lbs, not bad. Again thanks for the feedbacks. |

Either my search skills suck, that or I have just overlooked it, but where can you pick up this front lip? All I have been able to come across is the M-Sport lip.
Thanks in advance! |

no stupid questions here, i attached mine using double sided tape and screws at the bottom, where the existing fasteners are. you can take it off and it wont show any sign that it was there.
